Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Ecological research heavily relies on coarse‐gridded climate data based on standardized
temperature measurements recorded at 2 m height in open landscapes. However, many …

Converting student theses or final projects into publishable articles poses a significant
challenge. Many students struggle to articulate their ideas in scientific publications due to a …

Forest canopies can buffer the understory against temperature extremes, often creating
cooler microclimates during warm summer days compared to temperatures outside the …

Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why are they important? Microclimate science
has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to …

Aim Climate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges
and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still …

Emerging technologies are increasingly employed in environmental citizen science projects.
This integration offers benefits and opportunities for scientists and participants alike. Citizen …
